Attend to Chaulieu's wanton lyre	A
While fluent as the sky lark sings	B
When first the morn allures it's wings	B
The epicure his theme pursues	C
And tell me if among the choir	D
Whose music charms the banks of Seine	E
So full so free so rich a strain	F
E'er dictated the warbling Muse	C
Yet Hall while thy judicious ear	G
Admires the well dissembled art	H
That can such harmony impart	H
To the lame pace of Gallic rhymes	I
While wit from affectation clear	J
Bright images and passions true	K
Recall to thy assenting view	K
The envied bards of nobler times	I
Say is not oft his doctrine wrong	L
This priest of pleasure who aspires	M
To lead us to her sacred fires	M
Knows he the ritual of her shrine	N
Say her sweet influence to thy song	L
So may the goddess still afford	O
Doth she consent to be ador'd	O
With shameless love and frantic wine	N
Nor Cato nor Chrysippus here	G
Need we in high indignant phrase	P
From their Elysian quiet raise	P
But pleasure's oracle alone	Q
Consult attentive not severe	J
O pleasure we blaspheme not thee	E
Nor emulate the rigid knee	E
Which bends but at the Stoic throne	Q
	-
We own had fate to man assign'd	R
Nor sense nor wish but what obey	S
Or Venus soft or Bacchus gay	S
Then might our bard's voluptuous creed	T
Most aptly govern human kind	R
Unless perchance what he hath sung	U
Of tortur'd joints and nerves unstrung	U
Some wrangling heretic should plead	T
But now with all these proud desires	M
For dauntless truth and and honest fame	V
With that strong master of our frame	V
The inexorable judge within	W
What can be done Alas ye fires	M
Of love alas ye rosy smiles	X
Ye nectar'd cups from happier soils	Y
Ye have no bribe his grace to win	W
